TAMARIND BALLS (PULP METHOD)



Tamarind Balls (Pulp Method) image

A traditional sweet and sour treat. If you find it a bother to remove the pulp from the seeds, I have posted an alternative recipe for this that uses tamarind paste.

Categories     Dessert

Time P2D

Yield 36 balls, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 cups tamarind pulp, shelled
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup boiling water
4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon scotch bonnet peppers (optional) or 1/2 teaspoon habanero pepper, minced (optional)
black pepper, to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • break tamarind into segments.
  • Sprinkle with soda and salt and pour boiling water on tamarind.
  • Stir until the water is absorbed and the seeds leave the pulp: remove the seeds.
  • Stir in 2 cups of sugar and blend well.
  • Cover and set aside at room temperature overnight.
  • Stir in the remaining sugar, add more if necessary to make the mixture firm enough to shape into balls.
  • Shape into balls and allow leave a couple hours to dry.
  • Roll balls in sugar. Wrap in paper squares and store.
  • Will keep for up to two weeks.

ST. CROIX TAMARIND BALLS



St. Croix Tamarind Balls image

I was fortunate enough to visit a friend who lived on St. Croix, in the Virgin Islands some years ago. I tasted a tamarind ball and loved it. I recently came across this recipe (although at the time of writing I haven't actually made my own candies yet). Note that some people also add garlic, black pepper or cayenne pepper for flavoring. The time estimate is based on using tamarind paste.

Time 15m

Yield 24 candies

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup tamarind pulp
1 cup white sugar or 1 cup brown sugar
garlic powder (optional)
black pepper (optional)
cayenne pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Remove tamarind flesh from the seeds, by scraping with a knife or by rubbing the seeds and sugar against the sides of the bowl with a wooden spoon. (Or, much easier, use tamarind paste!).
  • Mix the tamarind flesh with the sugar, and roll into a smooth ball, about 3/4 inch in diameter, with a tamarind seed in the center.
  • Roll the ball in granulated sugar, and store in an airtight container.
